              Summary note
              Aaron studies the Great Society of Johnson's administration, including his opinion that the political backlash to its programs and policies rested not on intrinsic success or failure but on the academe's influence on public opinion. External events, such as war in Vietnam and the dissolution of the civil rights coalition, led disillusioned academics to disregard and speak out against the economic policies through their research.
